Dinosaurs lived in the Mesozoic Era (248 million to 99 million years ago), which is divided into three periods: the Triassic Period, the Jurassic Period, and the Cretaceous Period. The Triassic Period was 248 to 206 million years ago, the Jurassic Period was 206 to 159 million years ago, and the Cretaceous Period was 159 to 99 million years ago.
The dinosaurs most likely went extinct when a huge meteor crashed in the ocean (somewhere around the Gulf of Mexico, if I remember my History Channel correctly), causing fatal environmental changes like clouds of dust that blocked out the sun, white hot debris that ignited wildfires, and acid rain (just to name a few).
